The US government says Israel may have breached humanitarian law in Gaza using American weapons.
In a delayed report, the state department says it is "reasonable to assess" that US-supplied arms have been used in ways "inconsistent" with Israel's obligations.
But it says Israel has had to confront an "extraordinary military challenge" fighting Hamas in Gaza.
The report, ordered by the White House, was submitted to Congress on Friday.
While the report was a clear rebuke of some Israeli operations in Gaza, it stopped short of definitively saying that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) campaign had breached international law.
And it said assurances it had received from Israel about adhering to the legal use of US weapons were "credible and reliable", and so weapons shipments could continue.
The document also noted that the US government does not have "complete information" in its assessment and that, because Hamas "uses civilian infrastructure for military purposes and civilians as human shields", it was often "difficult to determine facts on the ground in an active war zone" of what are legitimate targets.

Better stop ammo aid to Ukraine too.
Remembermany WOMEN and CHILDR⁶EN have died there too and yet no one is protesting that Russians be exterminated.
[ Operation Fast & Furious ] slides into the chat....
Has a single member of HAMAS been indicted by an entity other than Israel for the war crime of holding hostages?
Well thankfully Hamas didn’t violate any international law else it would be hard to pick sides.
not even a specific allegation
So STFU already.
Notice the Biden’s name is not mentioned once in the article. I wonder why.
used toilet paper is more useful than this report

As of January 17, 2024, 20 individuals from the list were killed (and the status of 4 more is unknown).[1]
yes, Biden is seeking the votes of the far left Nazis that are ransacking our American colleges
in doing so, he will gain perhaps one vote while losing another 20
you’d think that his political advisors would have at least checked with the American people and voters before steering Biden on this losing campaign course
Trump made the mistake of hiring several backstabbers. Maybe Biden’s handlers made the same mistake now? It raises all sorts of fascinating questions. But it would require a fly on the wall to find out WTF they’re really up to....
All of a sudden Biden cares SO much about civilian deaths..gee he never cared when the US killed innocent Afghans, or Syrians, or Iraqi’s during time of war..or how about when Biden himself had a father and his SEVEN children DRONED in August 2021 after that HORRENDOUS Afghan withdrawal..Biden didn’t give two craps about civilian life then, only to do something to make HIMSELF look better, but now, since it helps him with the ONLY thing he truly cares about, Michigan and Minnesota(Where Biden is trailing Trump by THREE points) he now “Cares” about civilian life
Id like to know how many innocent Russians who have nothing to do with that war have died because of weapons we have sent Ukraine
By that logic of reasoning, then did the US break the law also by supplying those weapons to Israel
Dear bbc-——🖕
This line about Hamas war crimes completely negates arguments about Israeli war crimes.
That might happen in the year 2525.
To h—l with International Law.
You ate busy again. International Law is no Law. Globalists can stuff it.
Look, stop kissing the behind of “Our Greatest Ally Ever,” OK?
Israel lives rent free in your brain. I have bigger concerns, like freeing America from globalism and marxism.
